Holiday/Christmas Gift Ideas - Navajo Chilis Framed Art Poster Print by R. C. Gorman

No southwest decor is complete without a print from Navajo artist R. C. Gorman.



Referred to as "the Picasso of American Indian art" by the New York Times, his paintings are primarily of Native American women and characterized by fluid forms and vibrant colors.  Gorman's women will warm your home and your heart; subtle simplicity combined with beauty, strength and confidence in a time-honored past.

Our Southwest Santa has selected the Navajo Chilis Framed Art Poster Print (32x29).  The warming red of her blanket combined with the life-giving fiery red and nurturing green of the chilis make for the perfect holiday scheme or any time.

Of course if you can afford an original then you will be in the company of many others including included Elizabeth Taylor, Danny DeVito, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barry Goldwater, Gregory Peck, Erma Bombeck, Lee Marvin, Jackie Onassis and fellow artist Andy Warhol, who silk-screened a portrait of Gorman that hung in his bathroom.
 
If not, check out his prints, available online, beautifully framed and ready to go.
